Release Notes
The issue will be more prevalent in systems that have only one CPU with hyper-threading
unsupported /disabled or systems that are subjected to persistent stressful conditions, such as
resource depletion and CPU running at 100% usage with significantly more threads than normal
usage.
The Auto Recovery feature is not enabled by default. If the Auto Recovery feature has been enabled,
increase the System Reset Timer value to at least 120 seconds.

Using Internet Explorer browser, if you install Server Administrator on a system that includes a underscore
in its hostname, you must use the IP address of the target system in the browser URL to launch Server
Administrator, as Hostnames with underscores are not supported. For example (assuming Server
Administrator is listening on port 1311): https://192.168.2.3:1311. For more information, see the following
article on the Microsoft website:

Persistence of Configuration and Log File Changes in VMware(R) ESXi (277439)
On systems running the VMware ESXi operating system, the file system is ramdisk. Modifications
made to the files within the filesystem are generally not persistent across reboots, with the exception
of designated configuration and log files. These files are updated to the disk periodically and on
system shutdown. If the system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the updates to the
designated configuration are made and before log files are updated to the disk, the changes are lost.
The following is one example of the effect of this behavior:
On certain systems, the first time that the thresholds for a probe are changed after Server
Administrator is installed; the current threshold values for that probe are saved as the default
threshold values by writing the values to a configuration file. When "Set to Default" is performed
after the first change of the thresholds, Server Administrator sets the threshold values to the values
that were saved in the configuration file as the default. If the system running the VMware ESXi
operating system is reset without a graceful shutdown before the changes to the configuration file are
updated to the disk, the user-defined thresholds become the default thresholds.
